Today, we left Idaho and entered Montana. We're finally in another state we've never been in and all things we see will be brand new to us. Currently, we are staying at the Elks in Kalispel, and tomorrow, we will go sightseeing in Glacier Nat'l Park.

On Thursday, we took our leave of Carol & Richard and thanked them so much for their hospitality in letting us stay on the property with them. We had a great visit and hope to come back soon. Our next stop is where we are right now. We decided since we were traveling this summer, to visit as many of our fellow bus club members as we could, and one lived in Sandpoint, ID. So, Ron called them up and they urged us to stop in for a visit. So, that is where we are right now. We are back in Idaho, but, now the northern half, we can now say we have been in Idaho, (one of the states we hadn't traveled through prior to this). These members are such nice people. The wife has many health problems so they may be forced to sell their bus, as she can't travel anymore.

We are parked in a grass driveway, right below where their house sits. They (and us), have a beautiful view of a lake across the street. There is even an active beaver dam on our side of the lake, but, we haven't seen the beavers yet. Maybe we will before we leave on Monday.

The first day we got here, they took us on a drive around the area. We didn't really think to take the camera, (BIG MISTAKE!!), as we saw a mama moose and her two babies!!! Our first moose sighting ever!! Hopefully, not the last...today, our friends had a guy coming out to split their wood for them and Ron helped mark the wood, split some of the logs and loaded the wood into their shed. He's going to really feel it tomorrow, as he wasn't wearing his back brace. Tomorrow, we are going for a drive to Clark Fork, which looks to be right on the state line with Montana. Should be a fun trip. I'll have pictures to share tomorrow, so stay tuned...

We got back to the Lamb's on Wednesday, early afternoon. I was just sitting in the bus, putting things away, when Carol came in and wanted to know if we wanted to drive to Lake Coeur D'Alene, since the last time we were in that direction, it was raining. So, we said, SURE!! So, off we went and parked down by the lakefront, which also happened to be right in the downtown area. We walked on the world's longest floating bridge right around the marina and the Coeur D'Alene Inn. It was a beautiful area. After we walked around for awhile, Carol happened to mention a really good steak place just a bit east of the lake, so we decided to go there for dinner. For those of you who have eaten at Pinnacle Peak's, it's kind of like that and the steaks were just so tender! I highly recommend going there if you're going to be in the area.

We had a wonderful visit, but, it was definitely too short, before we had to head back. I know Casey ate well, while we were there, now he has to deal with his own cooking...the following pictures are of different sights we saw on the way back to Elk, WA.

About Me

We have been full timing in an RV since May of 1993, and are still loving every minute of it. There is just so much to see in this great country of ours. We now live in our '59 Flxible VL-100 bus conversion and although it isn't totally done, we can still travel around in relative comfort.
